I met Taka in the Pleasure District and followed her lead to Hodogaya, where a storm set the stage for a fierce assault. Cutting through guards and clashing with two formidable foes, Ryoma and I fought hard, but flawed dodges turned the battle into a costly struggle.
There were various missions available but I went for the one where I had to meet Taka in the Pleasure District. My Ronin asked about Haris and Taka said her contacts in the shogunate can help about this if I were interested in doing a favor for them.
To do the favor, I started riding my horse towards a big road. There was this tower on my where I jumped off the horse and started gliding to get to the spot fast.
Then I remember I can do fast traveling which I tried and I started gliding from the windmill that I visited not back.
There was this village where I had to land safely but my glider got closed as it needed rest and I was free falling. I used the glider to land safely later.
It was Hodogaya post where I had to talk to this man first, who should be the contact Taka mentioned of. He said he saw some samurai that I may be after and he suggested me to strike at dawn as the enemies there should take turns to stand guard till morning.
I decided to head there now as I'm not a man of patience, you know.
There I saw someone looking around carrying a lamp. I shot him with a bullet but he didn't die. He came to fight us and I ended him using my sword.
I was running forward and noticed it started raining heavily all of a sudden. This scene looked like pure gold to me. Ryoma was following me in the rain.
I noticed some enemies inside a building and I opened fire on one of them as I knew I'd have to fight them anyway as my main objective was to kill two formidable foes and I wouldn't know where they were.
There was this man walking just on the alley beside where we just slayed two of them. I wonder how he didn't hear the gunshot and blade sounds. Anyway, I took him down quietly from the behind.
There was other man whom I took down in stealth but there was a formidable foe who noticed me and came to fight me. When Ryoma was making him busy, I was shooting him from a far to drain his health.
We went upstairs where we found the second formidable foe along with a regular enemy. We were fighting him but the foe was too strong.
When I like the visual of this game a lot, I don't like how my playable characters dodge the attacks. Sometimes they just don't move even after I try the dodge button and they die as a result, like my Ronin needed a retrieval but Ryoma died as well.
We'll continue in another post with another game.
